SECRET RECIPE
















I have been making these cookies for about 4 years. I don't know why, but people seem to love them. They are just the good old chocolate chip. I have had many people ask for the recipe, but I don't share with many. As far as I know I am the only one who has been able to perfect them. I do have to say that they are pretty dang good. They are thick, soft, fluffy and taste great. I got the recipe out of a family cook book, but I perfected it into what I think is the best chocolate chip cookie. If you haven't tried them let me know and I will bring you a batch. :)

Trista's Beautiful Brithday Cake


I made this cake for Trista in November for her birthday. I loved it. It was one of my favorite cakes that I had made. I got the idea from another lady on her website, though it was much larger than the one that I made. I used the same colors that she did and they same design just fiewer tiers and layers. This cake was fairly simple and I really had a blast doing it. It turned out great and the cake that was inside was very, very good. I cut the petals for the flowers by hand without any cutters. I used frosting for the centers of my cakes. And the small petals around the edge of the tiers I used a cutter for. Overall the cake was a joy to make and decorate.

MY FIRST SALE!!

Sheridan took this picture! Thanks Sheridan!



I haven't been on for a while, but I'm back.


This past year in December I was able to make my first cake sale. It went really well and I figured it was since it was only to some family friends. I made a cake for a little girl who was turning one. I made a big three tier cake and one small two layer cake. It was actually fairly simple, and I was glad. I was also late delivering it so that was kinda imbarrasing, but at least they weren't mad about it. It was pink and brown and has turned out to be one of my cakes that people like the most. I loved the cake and thought that I did a pretty good job with it. I will say that coloring the brown fondant was very hard, but I was able to pull it off. I was payed sixty-five dollars for this cake. I was really excited about that and that I actually was able to get some buisness. I think that they liked it and I know that I did. I hope that there are many more cakes to come that I can sell. That would ba a dream come true to me and make my day! I hope you liked it Chandler!!

My 1st two tier cake!!


This past year in November I made my first two tier cake. I made it for a church thing and everyone loved it. It was kinda hard to cut the cake, but I did and everyone thought that it was really good! It turned out cut though it gave me many troubles. I had to redo the fondant like 3 times and it was really irritating me, but I pulled it off. I hope that you like it!

Scrumptious Symphony Brownies







This is a recipie of my favorite brownies and they are very simple to make. This is my recipie even though it is nothing I had to really work at!






*Buy any brownie mix at the store that is your favorite.(I use Garidelli: Double Chocolate)



*Make the mix by its instruction.



*Pour half of the mix into an 8x8 greased pan.



*Place two large Hershey Symphony bars (or your favorite large candy bar) side by side in the pan on top of the batter.



*Pour the rest of your batter over the Symphony bars.



*Make sure that you have covered all of the candy bars.



*Bake for about 5-7 min. more than the mix says.



*Let the brownies cool completely, cut and enjoy!

CUTE, BUT SIMPLE CAKES


I will tell you about making a theme or animal cake that is so simple. I made this "Lady Bug" for a baby shower last year. I just made a three layer, one tier, round cake. It was really very simple, but turned out very, very cute. I covered it with red fondant. Then i cut out the black fondant circles. I cut a black semi-circle and two white round eyes. I then cut one black line the diameter of the cake from the semi-circle. I rolled balls for the bottom and delivered the cake. I also rolled two larger black balls and bent two wires around a pencil for the antennas. The cake was a chocolate cake with almond filling and almond butter cream frosting. It tasted great and looked simply adorable. This was only my third cake and turned out great! This cake took about 4-5 hours start to finish.

MY FIRST CAKE!





This is the first cake that I had ever made. I made this last year in October of 2008. I hope to someday be good enough to open a shop, but with the econonmy the way it is I am afraid that it will never happen. These cakes look very hard to some people, but I find them very simple to make. I find that sometimes it is not always the cheapest hobby, but I love to do it. Now I am getting good enough to get to sell some of them that I make. I sell them mostly for cost so I am not making anything yet, but soon I hope it will take off!
